UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

The object of this invention is to provide an apparatus, which will make it possible for every man to shear or cut his own hair without any apparent effort, and in a manner, which will fully equalize the hair-cut a person may get in a barber shop.

Furthermore, while minor modifications may be made as to details, it will appear obvious that this invention at large, and as to its main features, is of a basic nature, and consequently will dominate all inventions and patents, which in the future may issue in imitation of the unique discovery and disclosure made herein.

As the construction of my invention is comparatively simple, the cost of manufacturing should be proportionately low.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, and in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view, in part, of my invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan View of the same.

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view of my device, as shown in Figure 2, illustrating the downwardly extending guide member, the latter being broken off at three places.

Figure 4 is a somewhat perspective, side elevational view of a hair cutting machine, showing a manipulating handle attached to the same.

Figure 5 is a detail top plan View of a cutting machine, showing the attachment of the latter to a guiding rod.

Figure 6 is a detail vertical transverse sectional view on the line i-|4 in Figure 5.

Figure 7 is a front elevational view of an car guide with movable part for regulation of the side boards; while Figure 8 is a side view of the same.

While it would appear that the apparatus described herein would normally be positioned on the head of a person, arrangements may well be made, within the scope of this invention, whereby to attach said apparatus to a chair, or to any other suitable support. 7

Referring more particularly to the drawings, l indicates a somewhat curved annular member, or support adapted to be placed on top of the head of a person, whose hair is to be cut. The said member is preferably padded, as shown at II in Figure 3.

in Figure 4, is provided with a handle 22 for 10 manipulating the latter.

Tracks for accommodating the hair cutting machine and shown at 21 in Figure 3, are slidably and swiveledly attached to the arm 26, while screws 28 serve to regulate said tracks.

In Figure 1 the device has been shown to the effect that the guiding parts for the hair cutting machine have been simplified or reduced to but one single square rod 3|, which in turn is connected, as shown in Figure 5.

The rod has in this modification been made square in order always to secure the cutting surface of the hair cutter in the same relative position to the surface desired to be cut, thereby invariably obtaining a perfect and excellent result.

In order, however, to obtain a sufficient latitude in manipulating the machine during a hair cutting process, the said hair cutting machine has been secured to a short arm 32, which slides upon the rod 3|. The free end of the arm 32 has been formed with an opening 33 therein, adapted to receive the handle 22 of said hair cutting machine, as the latter will turn upon said arm 22, which arm is securely held in position between the washers 34 and 35, attached to the handle of the machine.

While the teeth of the machine are somewhat concavely formed, a comb may suitably be attached to said machine to facilitate the relative engagement of the machine with the hair, and place the latter in a suitable position for cutting.

In Figure '7 has been shown a substantially flat curved member, a pair of which members, suitably connected, are adapted to cover the side boards; to facilitate said purpose adjustable parts, as shown at 29, have been mounted upon said curved members.

It will, of course, be understood that the member I0 normally will be secured to the head of the person, whose hair is to be out, by means of straps 30.

It is obvious that changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts, as shown, within the scope of the appended claim, without departing from the spirit of the invention, and I do not therefore wish to limit myself to the exact construction and arrangement shown and described herein.

What I claim, as new and desire to secure by 5 Letters Patent of the United States, is:-

In a device of the class described, a basic structure adapted to rest upon the head of a person, a member pivotaliy secured to the basic structure, and an arm slidabiy arranged upon said member, said arm having a hair cutting machine turnably mounted thereon.

MAX HABERMAN.
